Help with PKGBUILD

Question

trying to install lcdproc, and gnome global menu, and i get the same error for both of them.
[mark@markspc lcdproc]$ makepkg
==> ERROR: lcdproc is not available for the '' architecture.
Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD
such as arch=('').
[mark@markspc lcdproc]$
here is the PKGBUILD for lcdproc
# Contributor: Bernhard Walle <[email protected]>
pkgname=lcdproc
pkgver=0.5.2
pkgrel=0
pkgdesc="LCDproc is a utility to drive one or more LCD (and LCD-like) devices attached to a host."

build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
patch -p1 < ../lcdproc-add-serdisplib
autoreconf
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-libusb --enable-lcdproc-menus --enable-stat-smbfs --enable-drivers=all
make
make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
sed -e "s/server\/drivers\//\/usr\/lib\/lcdproc\//g" LCDd.conf > $startdir/pkg/etc/LCDd.conf
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/etc/rc.d
install -m 755 $startdir/src/lcdd $startdir/pkg/etc/rc.d
as you can see it has the arch set. and i dont know what to do now.
I am running 64bit.
this is driving me MAD, what do i do now?
thanks Markp1989

here is my makepkg.conf
